Melania Trump makes a fashion oopsie

[Brookie]

I think she's operating on adrenaline rage right now, and I don't think she does care about anything except getting out with her son and away from him.

Whatever else is going on in this bitch's personal life, this is highly highly inappropriate and unacceptable coming from the alleged FLOTUS. You want out? Get out. Don't take your rage out on the country you are supposed to be repesenting, and do NOT take it out on kids who are already traumatized out of their minds. Sorry, this was planned.

I'm trying to make sense of it but there is none. And I don't think her son likes her all that much from footage at the start of the presidency. It's even made me dislike Zara although no one will ever wear that jacket again.

An oopsie??

Spilling milk is an oopsie.
This is NOT an oopsie.

[Beeyotch]

this was not a mistake.
what are the chances melania actually bought a $39 jacket from zara? so far she's pretty much only been decked out in designer shit so there's no way this isn't a message to trump's die-hard supporters.

Yes. Just, FUCK her. Jesus Christ, what a stupid whore.

Any smidge of sympathy for her for enduring that orange asswipe is well and gone. She deserves every last bit of misery, more, really.

I can't think of one occasion where this jacket would be appropriate for a first lady to wear.

[OrangeSlice]

I’m surprised she’s not getting more crap from the media.

I'd say at Donald Trump's funeral would be a great place.

[CornFlakegrl]

^ or his sentencing.

[ChemicalHelena]

^YES! I stand corrected. Maybe at a future divorce hearing as well.

She's getting crap around the world. People are shocked.

From Facebook:

I did a little mini-stroll through FB this morning and I saw a post by Patrick Jones discussing Zara, the trendy Spanish company that created the fascist-themed jacket Melania Trump wore when visiting a detention center in Texas yesterday. So, I did some source checking. What I found was stunning. I want to share this with you:

Zara has been in "trouble" many times for their racist and anti-Semitic clothing lines. There is the lovely Holocaust themed children's shirt. The purse with swastika embroidery. The 2014 t-shirt saying, "White is the new black." Or the 2017 denim skirt featuring Pepe, the cartoon mascot popular with the "alt-right."

Ian Jack Miller, the first and only corporate attorney for Zara's U.S. and Canada business, filed a $40 million discrimination suit in New York's Supreme Court alleging he was fired because he's Jewish, American and gay. Miller says he was the only Jewish employee and had to keep his Jewishness a secret due to the anti-Semitism in the corporation. For example, the CEO of Zara's American business, repeatedly described the retail chain's Jewish landlords and Jewish real estate developers as "los judios" or "the Jews."

Also in the suit, Zara’s top executives allegedly exchanged racist emails, including emails portraying Michelle Obama serving fried chicken and emails depicting Barack Obama in a Ku Klux Klan hood, with a Confederate flag, on a Cream of Wheat box, on an Aunt Jemima box, and shining shoes.

A report by the Center for Popular Democracy (2016) found that the Zara store in New York faced racists conditions. For example, the code word “special order” was used to identify suspicious customers, and black customers were seven times more likely to be tagged as potential shoplifters than other customers. Of course, this racism didn't confine itself to customers. The survey found that employees of color perceived widespread discrimination at the company.

If all of this wasn't enough....in 2017 unpaid workers in Turkey stitched pleas for help into clothing sold by retailer Zara, describing their lack of pay. The work conditions were horrific. For context, Inditex (Zara's parent company) is the largest fashion retailer in the world by sales, with 7,292 stores around the globe.

This company is racist, anti-Semitic, fascist capitalist vulture. While there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, I'd like to spread awareness of this company and it's horrific history.

OK, I give up - why, why, why would she purposely wear such an incendiary, hateful, racist, disgusting jacket? Why? We know it was purposeful, but why? I'm seriously stumped, unless - oh. She's a hateful, racist, disgusting woman. That's really the only conclusion here, isn't it?

[Beeyotch]

Yes. Or maybe because she needs something from her Orange pimp daddy, so this is her show of support & loyalty.

[SHELLEE]

She wanted our brains to explode trying to figure out why.

^Mission Accomplished.
